Hi, I found Knoppix-std to be a very good distro. You even do not need to run it under VMware, as this is a CD distro, running only from CD.. Have a look at www.knoppix-std.org.

Hi List, I think a good portion of you guys use a VMWare-Linux setup when doing pen-test (for many reasons). The question i would like to ask is, which linux distribution works best for this specific purpose ? Obviously you dont need a distribution with many fency Xwin features and preferably good networking tools built-in. I am uncertain about which would work best in this particular scenario and i really cant think of anyone better then you guys to give me insight. Thanks, -Maxime --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
